What time should I arrive?
Doors open at 9:00am. Come in, grab a coffee, settle yourself, and connect with the others before we kick off at approximately 10:00am. No rushing. This is your day.
Is parking available?
Yes - the Radisson Blu has a large car park with plenty of free parking spaces, so no stress there.
How do I get there?
The hotel is just off the N25, about 10 minutes from Cork city centre and around 20 minutes from Cork Airport. If you're coming from Dublin, follow signs for Cork and take the N25 exit towards East Cork/Little Island at the Dunkettle interchange. You'll see the hotel entrance shortly after.
Can I get there by public transport?
Absolutely. Little Island train station is about a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Cork Kent Station is roughly a 10-minute drive away. So if the train works better for you, go for it.
Will lunch be provided?
Yes! A full main course lunch will be provided, along with refreshments throughout the day. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, just pop them in the form below and I'll make sure you're looked after. There is no charge for lunch.
I'm nervous about coming on my own - is that normal?
Completely. And here's what I'll tell you, every single woman in that room felt the exact same way the first time. You will not be alone. You'll be surrounded by your people. I promise you, within five minutes of sitting down, you'll wonder what you were ever worried about.
Can I stay overnight?
If you'd like to make a night of it, and honestly, why wouldn't you - tick the accommodation interest box in the form below and I'll sort out the details for you. The Radisson Blu has a gym, a pool, and gorgeous rooms. Treat yourself. You're allowed.
We are speaking with the venue next week for reduced rates for Besties, we just need how many first (this is where you come in). So don't book your room just yet, standby for an update in the community.
